We are looking for someone who could house sit to keep our 8 year old cairn terrier company for 12 days from 4 September. He would like to have a walk every day. He likes to snuggle on the bed but sleeps the night in his crate.
We live in a two storey cottage on a steep hill with spectacular views over 100s of acres of bush in Cleland Reserve, close to Mt Lofty Summit. We are close to beautiful walking trails, and the delights of coffee shops in Stirling, or the winery's of The Adelaide Hills and Mclaren Vale.
You may see kangaroos and koalas on our bush block and many varieties of birds.It is a 20 minute drive to the centre of Adelaide.
Our cottage has a slow combustion stove for heating and uses rain water throughout. Wood will be available for heating. The two double beds have electric blankets.
The weather will be cool and unpredictable at that time of the year. It maybe wet and foggy or it may be sunny with cold nights.
The only job to do apart from look after the dog would be to check regularly that the gutters at ground level are free flowing if it is raining.
The access to the house is via a steep driveway. There is a garage that will take a small car and parking at street level.
There are friendly neighbours close by, but you feel as if you are in the middle of your own paradise. Quiet and peaceful at night.
